Chapter 3 Bullet Ants and Iron Ingot Beetles
Zhou Zhiming is a self-media blogger who specializes in raising various insects and then makes money through short video live broadcasts.

In the beginning, he became famous by raising various ants, and then shooting short videos and live broadcasting ant battles.

He attracted more than 10,000 fans through the ant battle. After making some money, he began to raise more types of insects.

Now his account has more than 30 fans. Some time ago, in order to satisfy the fans' curiosity about bullet ants, he bought a small nest of bullet ants from the Amazon rainforest through a friend's introduction.

At first, everyone liked to watch the battles between bullet ants and other insects, and were surprised by the damage and stinging capabilities of bullet ants.

Later, I watched more and more, and the popularity of Bullet Ants VS Insects and Ant Race Wars gradually waned.

Just when he was reading the comments and feedback and racking his brains to think of various new tricks that might attract the audience, he saw Qin Shou's comments and learned that the other party intended to acquire Bullet Ant Queen at a high price. He immediately replied to the private message and then sent Address, I thought of stopping the loss in time first and making a profit by reselling some of the bullets and ant blood.

……

next morning.

The first thing Qin Shou did when he woke up was to see if the salamander he caught yesterday was dead.

If it is dead, then he has to kill it quickly and freeze it in the refrigerator until the 1st before cooking.

Fortunately, the newt is still alive and in good spirits.

So Qin Shou brushed his teeth and washed his face peacefully, then rode his motorcycle to the town market for breakfast.

He used to live in poverty and had to save money on food and clothing.

Now it seems that the end of the world is coming, and then the social order will collapse and money will become waste paper, so he no longer saves and eats whatever he wants.

After all, after the beast transformation disaster occurred, the world collapsed and everyone was in danger. By then, there would be no such delicacies to eat outside.

After a while, after eating and drinking, Qin Shou took a taxi directly to the next city at a high price to save time and went to Zhou Zhiming to buy bullet ants.

"Hello, I'm already here, wearing a black T-shirt, see?"

Upon arriving at the destination, Qin Shou sent a message to the other party.

"Are you Qin Shimingyue?"

At the door of KFC, Zhou Zhiming, who was in his 30s and [-]s and had the image of a fat homebody, looked at Qin Shou in surprise. He didn't expect that the guy who wanted to buy bullet ants from him was actually a little brother who didn't know whether he was an adult or not.

"Yes, how many bullet ants do you have? Is the price calculated per ant?"

Before that, Qin Shouyou specifically checked online.

Ants that are not available in China, such as bullet ants, generally cost a few yuan to import, but they can be sold for two to three hundred yuan each in China. It can be seen that the import of ants is also hugely profitable.

Zhou Zhiming replied: "I have a small nest of bullet ants here, about 400 of them. Customs inspections are strict now. Imported bullet ants are priceless but not marketable. If you really want to buy them, I can charge you 1 yuan for each one." Sell ​​some to you.

But are you an adult?Are you buying bullet ants for breeding, or what?This thing's bite and sting are very painful and very dangerous. I have to make sure you didn't buy it to break the law, lest something happens and you get traced to me! "

Qin Shou directly took out his ID card and handed it to him: "Don't worry, I am an adult and will not do anything illegal or disciplinary.

Like you, I am also an insect lover. I bought bullet ants out of curiosity and wanted to know them with my own eyes. If you are still worried, you can also get a liability-free contract. "

After Zhou Zhiming read the ID card and confirmed that Qin Shou was of age and that he was not buying it to do any bad things, he said, "If you can accept the price I just mentioned, then I will take you back to catch bullet ants."

Qin Shou took back his ID card: "I can accept the price, but you have to check the condition of the bullet ants. If they are half dead, you have to bargain for the price, right?" "Let's go, I'll take you to see it."

Zhou Zhiming rented a suite nearby as an insect base, and would come here during the day to shoot live broadcasts and videos.

After Qin Shou arrived at the destination with him, what he saw were glass tanks of different sizes, with various insects in them.

"This looks like an Asian rainforest scorpion, right? I didn't expect it to look so big in real life!"

By the way, scorpions seem to have good defense and are highly poisonous. Do you want to consider that too?
I saw Zhou Zhiming reply: "This is not an Asian rainforest scorpion, but an emperor scorpion, the largest scorpion in the world. The two largest ones of mine are only 19 centimeters, which is nothing."

Didn’t you expect that there are not only king crabs but also king scorpions in this world?
Qin Shou still didn't think about the scorpions and asked, "Where are the bullet ants?"

"The tank in the corner is full of bullet ants. Under normal circumstances, the lifespan of bullet ants can be as long as 10 years. However, I often arrange for them to compete with insects, so there will be some cases of injury and death."

One night passed, and several more bullet ants died, which made Zhou Zhiming feel distressed.

This is all small money!
He sadly picked up the dead bullet ants with tweezers and stored them in a glass bottle.

Upon seeing this, Qin Shou immediately asked, "Did you save all the dead bullet ants and not throw them away?"

Zhou Zhiming replied: "Ordinary ants are too lazy to care, but bullet ants are not found in China. You can keep them to pose for photos and make specimens."

Qin Shou asked: "If I buy 50 bullet ants at the price you quoted, can you give me some ant corpses?"

"Are you sure you want to buy 50 of them? This is 2 yuan!"

Zhou Zhiming spent exactly 2 yuan to buy this nest of bullet ants. There were originally more than 100 ants, but now there are only 50 or [-] left, so he can make back his capital by reselling [-] ants, which he is happy to see.

Qin Shou took out his mobile phone directly: "It's only [-], I can transfer it to you now!"

This guy turns out to be the second generation of rich people!

That's sloppy, I should have quoted a higher price!

Now Zhou Zhiming couldn't go back on his word, so he simply agreed: "Okay, then I will install 50 bullet ants for you, and then give you 20 dead ones."

Qin Shou scanned the QR code to transfer money and said, "Can ordinary ants give me some? Live or die."

"All right!"

Ordinary ants can be seen everywhere. Zhou Zhiming is not stingy, but he is just a little curious about why this guy wants to die?
While Zhou Zhiming was catching bullet ants, Qin Shou curiously watched all kinds of strange insects.

At this time, he was attracted by two beetles that looked like two iron lumps, and asked: "What kind of beetles are these? Are they also imported?"

"That's right, the iron ingot beetle is imported from America and not found in China."

Qin Shou said oh and had no intention of continuing to understand.

But Zhou Zhiming suddenly explained with great interest: "You won't understand beetles at first glance. This iron ingot beetle is very famous. It is the toughest beetle species in the world. Even if you step on them hard or drive over them, there will be no problem. .

Because the iron ingot beetle's exoskeleton is strong enough to withstand external forces nearly 4 times its own body weight.

In other words, if they are enlarged according to their body proportions, then they are the creatures with the strongest defense and the hardest body in the entire nature! "

Listening to Zhou Zhiming's introduction, Qin Shou looked at the iron ingot beetle with greedy desire!
I didn’t expect that when I came to buy bullet ants, I got such an unexpected surprise!
